Chapter 17 Chiyou Banner Appears
Gao Shi and Xu Yuan left the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the night.
Gao Shi was very convinced of Xu Yuan's performance today, and said kindly: "Mr. go back and summarize everything today and study the details." If you don't know anything about the situation, you can ask below. Or go to the side hall of the house to find Sun Zhou, who is in charge of intelligence work. As long as it is within the power of the gentleman, he will cooperate. β
Xu Yuan bowed and thanked him, and said busily: "Gao is polite to join the army, in front of joining the army, I really can't deserve the word Mr. Who doesn't know that Pei Shuai's style is at its peak, and the world's famous works are seven out of Helong. Gao joined the army's "Liangguo Gong Shogunate" and "Liangzhou Xing", and I also read it in the next and was deeply respected. β
In history, Gao Shi followed the deputy ambassador of Shuofang Jiedu, Xin'an Wang Li Yu, and Youzhou Jiedu envoy Zhang Shouqi, and wrote "Xin'an Wang Shogunate", "Plugged", "Jimen Five Songs" and other side poems under their command.
Now, with Pei Min and Gao Shi, he wrote poems about the water and soil of Liangzhou such as "Liangguo Gong Shogunate" and "Liangzhou Xing".
It also proves that people with real literary talents, even if they change the environment, can still write good poems.
Literati, as soon as they praise each other, they come to a set of business and blow each other, and they immediately become friends, no longer referred to as joining the army and Mr., but calling each other their cousins.
Xu Yuan came up with a situation from the bits and pieces of information revealed in Gao Shi's words, and asked: "Guogong's second plan has not been implemented yet?" β
Gao Shi said with a smile: "It has already been arranged, and Pei Shuai has always been prepared first. In his words, it is better to abandon a son, not to lose the first, and the one who runs first will always have an advantage over the jogger. β
Xu Yuan was surprised: "This plan has already been decided, why do you need such a delicate discussion?" I thought it was Fang Gang's decision, but it was just a coincidence, or maybe Pei Shuai specially wanted to test it in the next ......"
Gao Shi smiled indifferently: "When Ling Wei first came to Dao, he didn't understand Pei Shuai's character and temperament. How to say it, the strength of the Hexi and Longyou armies, Ling Wei should have heard about it. β
Xu Yuan nodded solemnly and said: "This land of Helong is already rich in elite soldiers, especially after Pei Shuai became the master of Hexi and Longyou, there have been earth-shaking changes in Longyou Army and Hexi. I heard that the soldiers of Helong can not only capture tigers on the mountain, slaughter Jiao in the sea, and kill the enemy in battle, but also move forward bravely, and they can't be one in the crowd. Pei Shuai's strength in governing the army is really convincing. β
Gao Shi said: "Then Lingwei thinks why are the Hexi and Longyou armies so strong? Governing the army alone? He shook his head and said, "Definitely...... Pei Shuai often doesn't fight for victory, even if he doesn't want to win the battle in front of him, he will think about it carefully like today, to see if he can fight better and reduce battle losses. β
"Have you ever seen Pei Shuai's prestige among the generals and soldiers of the Hexi and Longyou armies, and you should understand it when you have the opportunity to see Pei Shuai commanding military exercises and commanding the three armies in the future. They are so convinced of Pei Shuai, not because Pei Shuai can win the battle, but because Pei Shuai values the life of every soldier. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of troops are willing to put their lives in his hands. β
"Hearing the drum and marching, Mingjin will retreat, the three armies will be brave, and forget about death!"
When Xu Yuan heard this, he was even more shocked.
Suddenly!
A flash of lightning flashed, and the sound of thunder fell into the sky.
Gao Shi and Xu Yuan were startled by this inexplicable lightning and thunder, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
A shining dim-colored crimson light dragged a huge white tail of more than ten zhang in the sky, as if a giant snake was twisting and writhing across the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
"This ......"
Gao Shi and Xu Yuan looked at each other, their faces were solemn.
The Metropolitan Governor's Palace!
Pei Min returned to the backyard and gathered with Gongsun You, Jiao Chen, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Ba, intending to greet Pei's mother.
The sky was lightning and thunder, and Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba were so frightened that they exclaimed, and they all relied on their father, who had the most sense of security.
Pei Min smiled: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, it's just lightning and thunder, and my father will carry it when the sky falls." β
As he was talking, Xiao Qi suddenly shouted with joy: "Look, it's a meteor!" I heard that when a meteor flies by, as long as you make a wish on the meteor, your wish will come true. β
She hurriedly folded her hands and said, "I hope Daddy can defeat the lion sooner, and he won't have to go out early and return late so tired." β
She turned her little face that was red with excitement, looked left and right, and saw that Gongsun You and Jiao Chen were making wishes, and asked curiously: "Mother, auntie, what wishes have you made?" β
Gongsun couldn't help touching his lower abdomen, and his face showed a hint of shyness.
Jiao Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Silly boy, making a wish is in the bottom of your heart, and it won't work if you say it." What's the use of your loud vows? β
"Ahh Xiao Qi gagged in frustration.
Pei Min smiled a little forcefully: "It's okay, girl, it's good for Daddy to hear it." Daddy promised you that he would win the lion as soon as possible. β
Xiao Qi smiled again, and seeing Xiao Ba's unhappy face, he hugged his younger brother and said, "If you make any wish, tell your sister alone, don't get in the way!" β
Xiaoba shook his head and said softly: "Sister, that, that's not a meteor!" β
Xiao Qi said unexpectedly: "What is it if it's not a meteor?" β
Xiaoba touched his head and said in a low voice: "It seems, it seems to be Chiyou Qi!" β
Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't seem to believe it, Xiao Ba said in a panic: "Yes, it's said in the book, Chiyou Qi is red, purple is a meteor, and red is a ......big murderer" He didn't say anything, only felt a big hand touching his little head.
Pei Min smiled: "Silly boy, that's a shooting star!" β
He said and glanced at the sky again.
Hachi is not wrong!
That's indeed Chi You Qi.
"Jin Shu Astronomical Chronicles": Chiyou flag, like a comet and then a song, like a flag. Or say, Chiyun is alone. Or say, its color is yellow and white. Or say, if the plant grows, the name is called the banner of Chiyou. Or say, such as a basket, can be two zhang long, and there is a star at the end. The Lord is disobedient, the Lord is confused, there are soldiers under the side of what he sees, and the soldiers are rising; Otherwise, there is mourning.
The ancients attached great importance to the art of astronomy and astrology, especially in the Han and Tang dynasties.
Especially in the Han Dynasty, the art of prophecy was even more popular, from the royal family to the common people, all of them vigorously studied this technique.
The Tang Dynasty was relatively better, but Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others were also deeply valued by the emperor, and the "Tui Bei Tu" they left behind is known as China's first prophetic book.
This kind of thing, mysterious and mysterious, Pei Min didn't dare to believe it, but he didn't dare not believe it.
After all, his soul has crossed over to this point, and he has violated the way of science.
Even if Pei Min was an atheist in his previous life, he didn't dare to ignore it completely.
It may not be without a cause.
Pei Min is not good at this, but he is well-read and has read this knowledge.
Chiyou Banner has appeared many times in history, the first time is the record in "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period", and then King Qin swept Liuhe, fixed the eight directions, and completed the unification of the world.
Then it was the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, followed by Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the soldiers and the Huns, and the Han Dynasty punished the four Yi for decades.
Reappearing, it's the end of the Han Dynasty! The princes joined forces near Jinggi, Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, burned Luoyang, and then the heroes chased the deer, and the military disaster lasted for decades, and tens of millions of people died in the military disaster, locust plague, and famine.
After that, the time when Chiyou Banner appeared was the Jin Dynasty, and the world was in darkness.
β¦β¦
Therefore, since ancient times, stargazers have all taken the Chiyou Banner as a sign of the great murderer, and the appearance of the Chiyou Banner is the chaos of the king's conquest of the Quartet, and the blood is thousands of miles.
Now that the Chiyou Banner has reappeared, is this an accident of the celestial phenomenon, or is it?
Pei Min felt inexplicably heavy in his heart for some reason.
*********
Chang'an, Xingqing Palace.
Li Longji woke up with thunder, sweating profusely, even his underwear was soaked, and he was panting for breath.
"General Gao......"
He screamed in disbelief.
Gao Lishi came to the nearest place with a candle flame, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" β
Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi with a little fear, and said: "I dreamed of Shiro, he said that he was so lonely, so lonely, and asked me to accompany him!" β
Colliers' face changed slightly.
The Shiro in Li Longji's mouth is naturally Li Longfan, the king of Qi.
It's not strange to dream of Li Long, but dreaming about it at this time is not a good sign.
Just three months ago, Li Longfan, the king of Qi, died, and it was even more coincidental that half a month ago, Li Longfan's only son, Li Jin, also died violently.
Li Longji and their brotherhood are deep, and they have been sad for a while, and they can't take care of the court.
Gao Lishi said with relief: "It must be that King Qi has no queen to His Majesty, and no one keeps filial piety, so it will be like this." As long as a prince is ordered to succeed King Qi, King Qi has a queen, and his descendants will be filial piety, and King Qi will not be lonely and lonely. β
Li Longji looked in agreement and said, "It is reasonable, this matter is negligent. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will let Goro pass a step-son to Shiro and keep filial piety for Shiro. β
Gao Lishi took the face towel from the side and wiped the sweat from Li Longji's cheeks.
Li Longji asked, "General Gao, you said that it would be great if there was really an elixir in this world." β
Gao Lishi was stunned, didn't know how to answer, thought about it, and asked, "Why don't you go to Luo Gongyuan and King Kong Sanzang to ask." β
Li Longji shook his head and sighed: "Don't be perfunctory, there is no elixir of life in this world, how can I not know." If there really is, there will only be one emperor in this world, and that is Qin Shi Huang, and it will not be my Li family's turn. Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of our dynasty, which one is not a rare male lord in the United States, they can't ask for it. How can I be an exception? It's just a moment of emotion, and some of them feel their thoughts and thoughts. β
He stretched out his five fingers, looked at them, and said, "You think, greatness like them can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death." How fragile this life is, how fragile it is. β
Gao Lishi smiled: "Your Majesty is different from them, Your Majesty is a blessed person, blessed by God. β
Li Longji said with a smile: "To be able to sit on this throne, which one is not blessed by heaven, but what?" Heaven is impermanent, life is limited, just go when you say go. β
"Your Majesty!" Gao Lishi knelt directly on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you say such bad words?" β
"Spring and Autumn are in full bloom!"
Li Longji read a sentence, first helped Gao Lishi up, then looked at the high sky ceiling, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I used to think the same way, I was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was the year of the fight." Dealing with military and political affairs, even if it is not suitable for a day, I do not feel tired. But since Wu Jieyu died, I was seriously ill for several months, and I was groggy for a while, only to realize that my life was as vulnerable as ordinary people. Now that Shiro has also gone, why is he not at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period? There is also the second brother, he went to the earliest, and it was the same as the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. And my nephew, who was only fifteen years old, said he would go. β
"This Spring and Autumn Peak is just a lie...... Li Longji sighed a little, feeling the impermanence of life.
In the face of this life, old age, sickness and death, how vulnerable people are.
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty is not too worried, it is better to take Liu Shenwei tomorrow; The old doctor invited him into the palace and asked him to tell you about the way to live a long life? Your Majesty, you think, Liu Shenwei's mentor is the medicine king Sun Simiao, it is said that he lived for more than one hundred and fifty years, and before he died, his teeth did not fall out, and he was a veritable old immortal. Doctor Liu is also more than 100 years old this year, and the old slave remembers that he was born in the Wude period, and he is more than 100 years old, and he is in the same spirit. β
Li Longji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "How did I forget him, when I was sick, he told me to rest well, not to work too hard, and to take revenge in a happy mood, which will help my body recover." I did what I said, and I came to find a recovery. Tomorrow, General Gao will invite General I, and I want to hear his way of immortality. β
Gao Lishi straightened the futon for Li Longji and said, "Then Your Majesty will sleep first, the old slave is outside the house, and there is something called the old slave." β
"Good!" Li Longji was about to lie down, feeling a little thirsty, and asked Gao Lishi to pour a glass of water.
At this moment, an urgent report from the front line came to the palace.
This military situation is about everything, even in the middle of the night, when Li Longji is asleep, it has to be conveyed.
What's more, Li Longji is still awake.
"How? Is it good news? Or ......"
Li Longji couldn't wait to know the result.
On the military side, Li Longji has always taken Pei Min's opinion first.
On the one hand, Pei Min's hawkish style is deeply attached to him, and on the other hand, Pei Min does have extraordinary ability in military affairs.
The Kaiyuan Dynasty has today's prosperity, and the cultural governance, Yao Chong, and Song Jing have made great contributions, but in terms of martial arts, Pei Min is leading. Although Xue Ne, Zhang Shouqi, and Yang Siqiao also performed well, they were far from being comparable to Pei Min.
The southern expedition was the first time, and Li Longji vetoed Pei Min's opinion and insisted on attacking.
Although there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, Li Longji still has a little uneasiness in his heart.
"Great victory!"
The herald shouted without hesitation.
Gao Lishi also said happily on the side: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, I have fought abroad and won victory again...... Datang Wansheng! β
While cheering, he strode forward, took the battle report of the great victory, and handed it to Li Longji quickly.
Li Longji was completely sleepy, and he was ecstatic to open the good news, only to see that the good news was impassionedly written about the achievements of the Southern Expeditionary Army.
In the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, April 3.
The army went south into the Nanzhao territory, the vanguard army saw that the Nanzhao army camp was not strictly guarded and morale was low, and the staff officer of the army, Xian Yu Zhongtong, proposed a night attack, so he did not wait for the main force to arrive directly to launch a surprise attack, breaking more than 30 tuns of the Nanzhao army and beheading 3,000.
On April 4, the two armies faced each other, Xian Yu Zhongtong ordered the soldiers to line up 3,000 heads in front of the battle, and the general of Nanzhao was frightened and fled from the battle.
The Don army won a complete victory.
April 6......
April 10......
On 15 April, the Tang army was invincible and invincible, and it was unstoppable, and it hit Cangshan and Erhai in one go......
